I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

If you are getting errors from Memory tests the first thing I would be looking at is the RAM. Faulty RAM can cause no end of apparently random errors which can lead you all over the place trying to find the cause.

If you have 2 or more sticks of RAM take them all out and try running the PC with just 1 stick at a time to see if the fault occurs. If you get the error with one particular stick installed then there is a reasonable chance you have a faulty RAM module, if it happens with all I would double check by doing the same test but put the RAM in a different slot on the motherboard.

Ok guys this is the problem. I dropped my computer and cracked the screen. Its not covered in the warrenty and i have to have it fixed. I was wondering if i could send my computer into dell and have them check to see whats wrong with it and send me the bill? Also i would like to have the touch screen put on it and instead of Vista have Windows 7. If there is a better approach to doing this please inform me. If you have any questions about my operating systems or anything like that ask away.

whenever i switch on my dell studio 1737 laptop it wont go past the dell logo stage.any help out there on how to fix the problem?at the moment i am running a diagnostics test and seems like most devices are passing the test.Michael

It could be any number of things but my first 2 guesses are possibly the hard drive or motherboard.you might want to take it somewhere so that you will get a correct diagnosis.

A:Dell Studio 1737 Windows 10

VA27000,The problem would be that some of the hardware would not function properly;if all. This is due to not having the needed drivers for Windows 10.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I could not find it in this posting site, I have a dell 1737 running windows 7 ultimate and I can not reformat the hard drive. I've tried F8 function clicked on "repair your computer" and once I press enter it start windows normally like its skipping past the repair option screen that is suppose to come after that screen. Anyone else have this happen? whats wrong with this pc and why won't it reformat?

This isn't actually a new issue but I've just used an external USB mouse since it occurred. The dell touchpad no longer will respond to anything. All of the touch buttons at the top work fine as does the keyboard. I just don't know if its a hardware issue or a driver issue. I installed the latest drivers and it still doesn't work so I'm assuming it could be hardware.

What also struck me as odd is that after installing the dell touchpad program and drivers I can't seem to launch the dell touchpad utility. It asks me to run the program but it never actually runs the computer acts as if I hadn't done anything.

I currently have a Studio 1737 with a 500GB SSD, Windows 10, and recently bought a Studio 1749 with a 750GD SATA HD, Windows 10.

I'm wondering if it's possible to just switch the SSD with the SATA to the new laptop, or if I should go through the process of making a recovery USB, install the SSD to the 1749, reformat and reinstall Windows 10. I'm not really relishing the idea of losing all my programs with the reformat, especially since I have long since lost the registration keys, etc. for most of the programs.Any suggestions?

I am currently running vista 32 bit and am about to install windows 7 64 bit home premium on my studio 1737 laptop. Does anyone who has done this already have any guidance or notes on doing this? Also is it worth doing the free upgrade to windows 10 once 7 is installed?Any help would be very appreciated.

I am about to do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on my studio 1737 laptop which is currently running Home Vista 32 bit. When I do a clean install it lists 3 partitions, 1=oem reserved, 2=recovery and 3=os.I will delete partion 3 but was wondering if I should delete partitions 1 and 2?

Many ThanksVictor

A:Studio 1737 Vista to Win7 upgrade

VA27000,One of the partitions is the diagnostics, one is the Windows Vista Restore and the other is Windows Vista.If you are doing a Windows 7 upgrade then you would leave the vista install and if you wanted to keep the diagnostic partition you can. Otherwise you could delete the vista restore partition since you installing Windows 7. If you are doing a clean install then you could delete partitions 2-3. Below is a link for Windows 7 information as well as a link to download Windows 7 drivers for your computer.Windows 7 SupportStudio 1737 Drivers and Downloads

I'm working on a Dell Studio 1745 (Windows 7/2X2GB DDR3 memory) which would blue-screen on boot and beep four times. I removed and replaced the memory modules one at a time and found one module was defective, but computer would boot and run with the one good 2GB module. I ordered two new matched DDR3 2GB modules. With both new modules installed, the computer will boot then blue-screen within two minutes. I can install either of the new modules in either slot and the computer will boot and run flawlessly, but installing the second module causes it to blue-screen and shut down almost immediately. Any ideas will be immensly appreciated.

I purchased a Dell Studio XPS sometime ago but when I tried to upgrade the memory from GB to GB I ran into some problems First off here are the specifications of my PC which will hopefully give more information for Dell in 8000 not Bios - detected Memory XPS Studio anyone who is willing to help me troubleshoot Memory not detected in Bios - Dell Studio XPS 8000 my predicament Dell Studio XPS Chassis Serial Number WWXML Running Windows - bit Processor a Main Circuit Board b gigahertz Intel Core i kilobyte primary memory cache kilobyte secondary memory cache kilobyte tertiary memory cache -bit ready Multi-core total Hyper-threaded total Board Dell Inc X R A Serial Number CN BM Bus Clock megahertz BIOS Dell Inc A Chipset Intel D rev The original memory configuration that came with my Dell Studio XPS is as follows DIMM has MB serial number F E B Slot - Black DIMM has MB serial number F E B Slot - White DIMM has MB serial number E B Slot -Black DIMM has MB serial number E B Slot - White I had a total of gb of memory I replaced it with Corsair Vengeance DDR GB x GB This was inserted into Slots amp White with Slots amp Black left empty I had planned on buying another pack of Corsair DDR GB x GB if the GB worked therefore bringing me to the maximum amount of GB of memory which is all the motherboard can handle according to specifications However when I booted the computer with Corsair Vengeance DDR GB x GB only GB of the GB registered in the Bios I rotated the strips and they were both good When I went to switch back to the original configuration that came with the computer DIMM has MB serial number F E B Slot - Black DIMM has MB serial number F E B Slot - White DIMM has MB serial number E B Slot -Black DIMM has MB serial number E B Slot - White My PC would not boot and made a continuous beeping sound I am no longer able to use the original Dell memory in any configuration Therefore I am stuck with Corsair Vengeance DDR GB x GB that was inserted into Slots amp White with Slots amp Black left empty Slot White with GB of Ram being the only memory recognized The GB in Slot White does not register in the Bios and is not seen by other software utilities that I have tried Hopefully you can now see my frustration and realize that I now have less memory available to me than originally came with my PC I read through many internet forums and tried all sorts of different things to solve the problem but the results are always the same leaving my PC with only GB of memory to be accessed I m guessing that there must be something wrong with the motherboard but I m really not sure Unfortunately Dell has been of very little help Not sure what my next step should be but if there is anyone out there that can assist me it would be greatly appreciated Thank you John M nbsp

I did a PC doctor stress test on it and got this message.System memory failed advanced pattern test WME22-OlDThe written pattern did match the pattern read, test finished Failed.What should I do???????? Help

A:Dell xps 9100 System Memory failed stress test

Hello! Normally if a memory test fails the memory chips are going bad. What you could do is go into the computer, take out the memory and put it back in. This is called re-seating the memory. Make sure you unplug everything including power, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to make sure there is no power to the motherboard. Once you re-seat everything run the test again and if it fails you might want to consider getting some new memory chips.

I bought in Feb09 a Dell 1737 Laptop running Vista. Last Thurs I received an update to my Radeon 3650 Graphics Card, loaded it, rebooted and all H broke out.Mostly Windows components failed, like Desktop Mgr. Startup items, etcCouldn’t get on Internet Explorer but Google Chrome was running.Did a restore to a month earlier, didn’t help. Updated Windows, loaded netFrameWork 1.1, Radeon again, checked if I was up to date on everything, no help.

Now, that it is mostly working; graphics card will drive the 47”LCD TV and I can watch some videos, like the Today show ( I think embedded ) but can’t watch streaming videos on Hulu. The video will start then windows desktop mgr or Google chrome fails and doesn’t recover.Was on a Dell Chat session last night; the first tech updated the Bios after reboot I lost her.Then the second guy reloaded drivers and Flash /shockwave. No ChangePlease Help Me

was everything working fine before the update?i would suggest trying to roll back the driver or uninstall and reinstall with the original disc / drivers that you used initially and keep those.like they say if it aint broke - dont try to fix it.personally - before trying to roll back the driver i would just opt to uninstall and reinstall with the original driver(s)

It kinda sounds like a new LCD is in order. It's usually best to get the numbers off the existing panel to match it up more closely. You might want to verify the flat ribbon cable is securely fastened on each end, too.

A:Win 7 Update errors, Readiness Test returning 5000+ errors Help

Pleasefollow the WindowsUpdate Posting Instructions and post the requested data

Upgraded to Windows 10 (from Windows 7) after ignoring the constant encouragement to upgrade for quite sometime. It was fine for quite some time (weeks/months). Yesterday, after a restart, the blue tiled screen with the "Choose An Option" menu came up. You can "Test Memory", "Test System" or "Exit". The problem is that when you do any of these options, it just keeps cycling back to this "Choose An Option" screen.

I have a Dell Inspiron 570 (older machine). I've gotten it to go to the BIOS Setu Utility by pressing F2 (constantly as it cycles). I have the DVD/CD in the drive, but it seems to be disabled?

Thanks Sticky for posting the latest Intel update.This solved my problem. Also had to update and install latest Java before any of this worked.Side note: Intel installed 16 driver updates. Doing a complete software re-install is not that much fun.

A:RAM fails Windiag Memory test, crashes Memory 86+

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Your problem is almost certainly caused by faulty ram.

The fact that memtest86+ is reporting ram errors, means your ram is bad.

One of your minidumps crashes with memory corruption.

Try one new stick of ram, and test your system.

The other three minidumps crash with Windows system file errors, but this can be attributed to faulty ram.

Also, one minidump crashes at SYMEvent.SYS=Symantec Event Library.

This is a known issue on some machines/configurations.

Turning off the live updates can sometimes solve this. Otherwise try using a different security product.

I don't know what caused three errors after using the "normal" VS Studio 15 Preview installer (as show in the screenshot). I also attached the installation log. I already have Visual Studio 2015 ( VS Studio 14) installed and I think that may have contributed to it. I was able to use the application, but I think these errors limit some functionality in terms of what I'm able to do in the preview.

I keep getting These Visual Studios Just-in-time errors popping up on my computer, and then closing my programs. anyone know how to fix these? here is a picture of the error... it's not only with iTunes I Get it, but iTunes has not run since I installed vista either... i have uninstalled and reinstalled it about 20000000000000000 times.

Ok i have just a motherboard cpu and ram pluged in. Everytime after about an hour I start to get errors on test 7 of memtest. I have just changed the ram from 1gb of kingston to 1gb of ocz and it is still doing the same thing( I tried every piece in every combination possible). I have and old intel 775 p4 processer, a intel d945gtp motherboard and a ultraconnect 500W power supply.

When ever i put windows onto one of it's 3 harddrives it constantly gice crc errors so i can install almost nothing.

I just wasted $60 for ram for it and it didn't make a difference. Would would the cpu or the motherboard be my next step?EDIT: upgraded the bios and it works now

On a Dell, if some other OS was installed, the Dell "PC Restore" (Recovery Partition) is no longer valid (corrupted) and the only way to reinstall is with a Windows OS installation disc and then download whatever device drivers you need from the Dell downloads.

bump for help. I've tried google, but I can't find out how serious I/O errors are for SDHC. I've transferred a 1080 movie onto the sdhc, and it transferred/played on my PC without any problems I could notice.

when i turn my computer on. it goes to a black screen that says "windows error recovery" "launch start up repair" which is highlighted. it counts down and then automaticly starts.

then the message is "windows cannot repair this automaticly" then i am given the option to send info to microsoft it doesn't seem to matter if i send or not. the start up repair menu remains asking "if you have reciently attached an exterrnal device, mp3, camera ect.. contact admin if you keep seeing this message." "click finish to shut down your comp." 2 options are at bottom of menu top one says "view diognostic details the bottom one says "view advanced options for recovery and support" clicking on either seems to just result in a frozen screen and the compter never boots up.

what about burn test software

A:what is best software to physicaly test all hardware for errors

Im not sure what you are looking for. Are you looking for a benchmarking program or are you looking for a maintenance software. Or do you have any problems where it might cause BSODs and you want to see what component is failing. As you might have guessed there is no simple answer to this question no matter how you look at it. But in order to be able to answer your question of need i first need to know what you are looking for exactly.

Sounds to me like you actually want a software that somehow scans your hardware for problems. To be honest there are no programs out there that straight of the bat does that for you and are actually accurate. If i remember right that doctor program you are talking about only checks your hdd for sector errors.

Studio worked fine until in the cold in for for a few hours, below zero cold. Now no battery power at all. Even when plugged in, when I hit eh power button, the light sequence on the keyboard lights, but after a few seconds only the volume button remails lit. Then, after 20-30 seconds, even that light goes out and the sound stops. The screen is dead black the whole time.

Hello Eric1555, welcome to SF!

You have too many dumps to check... so for now I only did the last one and it is somewhat clear on a possible reason for you problems.

You are connecting a USB device that is causing problems (either the device, its drivers or the corresponding usb drivers.)I suspect Creative Camera Class Upper Filter Driver....

Tried downloading from there but wasn't sure of which ones were needed and which were just bloatware..some of them that I know I need weren't installing for whatever reason...anyways here's a screen cap!

A:Dell Studio XPS 16 Driver Help :)

I wouldn't worry about those if I were you. In my opinion, if a) the system runs, and b) you are not missing any features you need, there is no need to mess around with those drivers.

Just after the October 22 release date, Dell posted some new graphics and other drivers for Windows 7. How can I tell whether they are needed, or should I assume that Windows Update takes care of making sure the latest drives are installed?

A:Drivers for Dell Studio

I like to work under the thinkg that if it isn't broken don't fix it. But if Dell has released specific 7 drivers for your system.You can check what driver is installed simply by going to device manager and clicking on that device and checking the driver detail tab. If your unhappy with the graphics prefromance now then I would probably install their new driver.

I have a dell studio that has a lot of junk from downloading so many different things and I want to restore it to factory settings where there is nothing at all on here and i can download what i need. please help me i just want it like brand new?????

On Christmas night, I did as I usually did - turned off my Dell PC by holding the power button until it all turns black and went to sleep with the charger still plugged in AS USUAL.

Then the morning of December 26, my PC did NOT turn on - and guessing it "broke" with no apparent warning. I took out the charger, waited a couple hours, and plugged my charger back in, hoping there was a power-outage Christmas night. The charger light turned white, indicating charge was being put in, and then it turned off, indicating charge was finished - and my pc still DID NOT turn on!

I also have Mcafee Virus Remover, which automatically scans my pc and destroys viruses each and every day.

What the hell is the problem here!?

A:Dell Studio PC won't turn on

"I also have Mcafee Virus Remover, which automatically scans my pc and destroys viruses each and every day"... In the real world this NEVER happens, it is only a wish. Who taught you to hold the power button to shut down Windows? You could have corrupted the hard drive. Have you ever used a mouse to select the Start button and shutting down the notebook that way? The motherboard could be toast too

Hi mate,

The heat on a laptop is important but it depends for what purposes. As for you for little gaming, movies and internet in other words home use the heat won't be a big problem as the laptop will not on continuous running for long hours thus heat won't be a great problem.

Now for the Screen both are good and will satisfied you now choose the better price for you as both have good resolution and both are LED LCD meaning less power/battery consumption and less heat due LED LCD are not too much hungry as normal LCD screens.

Yesterday, i installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my sister's Dell Studio 1735, but there aren't W7 drivers for this model (Only Vista 32/64) and there are 2 devices i cant install cause WU can't find their drivers (Unknown Devices), i DO have the Recovery and OEM Partitions, to revert it to Win Vista, thing is i don't want to.. Win Vista STINKS!

So, there's any chance for me to actually install those 2 drivers? or should i revert it to Win Vista??

Thanks in advanced!

A:Dell Studio 1735

What devices are they? Look on the manufacturer's site for drivers. If you can't find any for 7, download the Vista ones. If they won't install, run them in compatibility mode for Vista.

You think this is a good deal and will it fit my computer?500W Power Supply fo Dell Studio XPS 8000/8100 K159T PC | eBayIf you guys have any other suggestions feel free.And sorry if this isn't in the right topic.Thanks

A:Will this PSU fit my Dell Studio XPS 8100?

It may "fit", but that doesn't mean anything.

At one time, most Dells used a proprietary wiring setup on their power supplies. For those PCs, you could NOT simply change to an industry-standard ATX power supply.

Dell has largely moved away from that practice, but a Google search implies that some Dells (possibly including the XPS 8100) still use proprietary wiring on PSUs. I couldn't quickly find definitive information.

So you may still need a "special" PSU for that PC and that may be what the Ebay dealer is selling.

But even then I wouldn't buy the PSU you linked. It's a no-name brand and you have no way of evaluating it nor do you know anything about its noise level (which I guess is one of your complaints).

I would:

1: Google to try to find definitive info on whether or not you need a "special" PSU for your PC.2: If you do, I would then buy a standard ATX PSU along with a connection adapter designed to allow use of a standard ATX PSU in this particular Dell. The adapters are widely available for about $15. Endpcnoise.com is one source for the adapter--among others.

I'd get a Seasonic or Corsair PSU that are known to have low noise levels. You may have to spend a bit more money.

On the other hand, you may find that your PC can use a standard PSU---in which case you would not need the adapter.

At any rate, I would not buy that Ebay PSU regardless. Go somewhere like Newegg as a source.

I'd also measure the existing PSU and make sure there are no space/clearance issues should you go with a standard PSU. For all I know, the Dell cases are very cramped or they may have even used a non-standard size as well as non-standard wiring.

You might contact forum member "Fireberd" about this. He has a lot of Dell experience and provides support on Dell forums.

Had to reinstall Windows Vista OS and of course lost everything. Reloaded the Drivers and utilities CD. Now cannot connect to my home network. ?This computer does not have a network adapter installed and configured?. Went to device manager and under the ?other devices? tab, everything under it has the yellow exclamation marks. Also the display is not right. Under the ?display adapters? tab the ?Standard VGA Graphics Adapter? also has the yellow exclamation mark. I have disabled and enabled all of them to no avail. Also checked the services and they seem to be started. Not sure exactly which ones should be started but all the ones about networking are running. Home network is working because I have other devices running from it just fine. I?m a little overwhelmed at this point. Also trying to sift through the archives at the same time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

A:Problem with Dell Studio 17

Hello, I would work on installing updates needed to get your OS up to date first , then I would work on latest drivers from Computer manufacture site with a combo of motherboard driver updates and graphics as well as audio drivers.

My Dell Studio 1537 Just stopped booting to OS. I turn it on it goes to the dell logo then to choose an option Eg. Test Memory Test System Exit. I can't even get into safe mode. I went to test system and it goes to main menu Service tag 5SLGZIS With tags Express Test Extended Test Custom Test Symptom Tree. I went to system tree and selected Cannot boot OS and pressed run tests it comes up with error code 0F00.075D Msg_0-self-test Read error. I can't believe this has happened because my 2 TB hard Ext hard drive just crashed now my laptop has done the same can someone please help me.

A:Dell Studio won't boot to os

It sounds like the hard drive has failed. Doing a Google search for the error code all say the hard drive has died.

BTW, you should edit your post and remove the service tag number. Dell considers this personal data (and is forbidden on the Dell users forum).

The USB ports on my dell studio xps 8000 keep dying. the light on the mouse stops working, unplug it and plugging it back in usually fixes it. there's also the sound its makes when you unplug from usb then plug in. sometimes I only get the sound which freezes the cursor then it working again. other time mouse is completely dead (no light) passes dell full tests says nothing wrong

A:Dell studio 15 overheating

In a perfect world, the parts would be perfectly flat, be placed in direct contact with each other, and no thermal paste would be used. As that is not the case, the thermal paste is used to fill the inconsistencies and aid in cooling. In other words, what you see is normal.

You can completely remove the paste from both pieces, reinstall more thermal paste (only a small amount is needed), and put them back together.

Having said all of that, as that model has always had overheating issues, there isn't likely much that can be done. Always use the laptop on a hard surface (ie: desk or table top), and you could use a cooling pad.

My computer has been very odd for the last several months I've gotten lots of serious viruses and have reinstalled Windows countless times After getting everything reinstalled again onSaturday night I went to bed leaving the computer on over night to recieve updates and render some video stuff I was working on Unfortunately when I turned the computer screen back on I saw just a huge glob of random distorted pixels everywhere with weird patterns and such When I did some research I found problems Dell XPS Studio it was my graphics card that had crashed and I then started the pc Dell Studio XPS problems back up as normal yet it got stuck at the Windows flag with starting windows I had a extra failsafe partition with no OS on it and I proceeded to put the installation disk in and boot it up Unfortunately the Windows disc wouldn't even boot up I then ran a diagnostics test that gave me error code - which usually means a failing hard drive when running the DST short test I know for the hard drive is fine and has nothing wrong with it so I'm not sure what the problem is I think it is some underlying virus but who knows what exactly it is I'm currently running of the partion magic Dell Studio XPS problems linux included on HBCD to go here I'm so confused about what the problems are i'm frustrated and I really need to get this computer back up to full health ASAP for work

A:Dell Studio XPS problems

Look like there is something wrong with the motherboard, video card or hard drive.

I'm going to get a dell studio 15 laptop, but from all I've read, still not 100% confident of availability of windows xp drivers for this laptop? I want to dual boot just incase Im doing anything hefty on mem (or just don't like vista.) Also, does anyone know if the ati mobility hd3450 is xp compatible?

Cheers

A:Dell Studio XP Drivers?

A lot of prebuilt resellers are doing the whole "we're not offering Windows whatever drivers" hogwash on their websites, even if the hardware itself is compatible. I've found this with my laptop (Asus F3 series) and with my gaming rig (Asus M2N SLI Deluxe).

Usually, however, if you find the manufacturer of the hardware component itself, you can find some generic drivers or manufacturers drivers that will function.

Considering that Dell has a "switch to XP for $50" option on a lot of their desktops, I imagine you shouldn't have too much trouble.

As for your video card, there are a few sites that specialize in making generic drivers for mobile chipsets. The problem with mobile chipsets is that often a vendor will to lock you into using only their drivers, rather than the OEM drivers from ATI/AMD or Nvidia. That's why those third party sites exist.

I'd worry about the other components of your laptop more than the video card.

EDIT: Below is for a 435T/9000, which although released about the same time, is a different model than the 435MT. However, both are X58 boards that have 6 tri-channel memory slots. Memory that works in one will probably work in the other. Try at your own expense/risk (although $67 for a 2x8GB kit or $35 for a single 8GB isn't bad - link)...----Stress testing 48GB in my 435T/9000 now. So far so good. BIOS and Pre-boot System Assessment memory test both recognize all 48GB. Windows 7 Ultimate and HWiNFO recognizes 48GB. Using 6 x 8GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600 CL9. Memory details: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00/ BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00Bought 3 of these 2 x 8GB kits. Will only run at 1066 in the 435T/9000, of course, but with good CL6 timings, I believe.The large internet retailer that reminds one of a jungle has them cheap right now...

where do I find the tab or menu key,on a toshiba satellite L305-S5921,so I can run a memory test,on my laptop?

A:Memory test

Just before the Windows splash screen shows up, start rapidly tapping F8. This should lead you to the Safe Mode screen. You may have to, at that point, select F8 again to get to the memory diagnostic (it's at the bottom of the screen).

Another way is to launch Startup Repair from the Safe Mode screen (it'll say "Repair my computer") and then select the Memory Diagnostic from the list of advanced options.

I had a friend put some more memory sticks in my computer and I think one of them might be bad. I get BSOD's when I download certain things.I keep getting errors like, PIN LIST Corrupt,IRQL NOT LESS or EQUAL,BAD POOL CALLER,Could anyone tell me how I can do a memory test to find out?

I'd like to get some guidance on the best way to test my memory. I'm getting some BSODs and I understand memory is a frequent culprit in such cases. I found that Windows has a built-in memory diagnostic, Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool: is that a good way to test my memory? I've also heard about memtest86: is that a better tool?

My laptop is an ASUS K55N; I believe it has 8 GB of memory but can't check right this moment as the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool is running.

A:Memory Test(s)

Download: Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tooland put it in a USB stick to boot from. You should run the test for at least 4-6 passes unless errors occur before.

Ok, at one point in time i remember reading somewhere here that there is a free/good RAM testing program...but for the life of me i cannot find where it is. can anyone direct me to the right forum /website???

thanks
